COLUMBIA. Sunday Horning, January 13, 1867. Colton Culture. There is a new paper published in Manchester, England, devoted tu thc culturo of cotton, its munn factures, &e., which proposes to lay before its readers tho last and most reliable ?(ata and information that can bo ob? tained in regard to tue present cui? tare and future probable value of the Kreut staple. .Some of the statements the writer ma?ces will he interesting to plauters. Ile assumes that thc production of .cotton in india w as profitable when its value, in ino Liverpool market, was only four peuce per pound, and the difficulty ami cost of transportation '?ere grouter than they aro now, and that the price which it now com? mands (more than double the former) 'will insure its cultivation in thal country to a much larger extent than heretofore. He recognizes in ludia a formidable competitor to the South? ern States in the growth of cotton, and after enumerating some of thc advantages tho former possesses, brings thom in contrast with impedi? ments which, since the wai-, have su perinveued in thc latter. There aro some truths in tho argu? ments he uses to stimulate an in? creased production i:i ludia. H< says that thc present condition of thc . South, its incapacity for producing ?he former large crops, ?ind the tax of thre . cents per pound, which has necessitated a method of collection that seriously impedes the movement of the crop and embarasses the plant? eurs hi their operations, may be re? garded with certainty as guarantee? ing the cotton growers of India am' elsewhere on the Eastern confinen ample remuneration as tho result o: the curtailment of the crop here. He adds other reasons for expecting a diminished production of cotton ii the Southern States, as compare? with the quantity grown before tin war: and among themis tie- re-or ganizatiou of society and of too re lations of labor; that the number o horses, mules and cattle in the South ern States is now about forty pc cent loss than i:i I860; that th transport system, both on land em water, is still very lar from hoing rc attired to iis former efficiency; am (hat thc prices of labor, and all im plements, and products, and animals are nov.- double what they were pre vious to the war, and involves at h as double cost ii\ the growing of cotton whilst ere.lit. so essential to pro.bu? tton, sliows a very tardy recupere, tion. He. then place* in eon; rust the ucl vantages that India at present pos? sesses. He says the prostration c energy and enterprise which resulte* from tho tyrannical sway of the Eas ludia Company is giving away un de thc new system of rule; that the peo pie of the country are recovering con fidence in Europeans, and bavin better chances of securing io them ne.lves the rewards of their industry tlicy aro' more disposed to cultiv?t the land and to engage in pioductiv and trading pursuits generally. Tb writer adds that the same causes an< influences are producing like effects i other parts of the East and in Sont! America, which have valuable oppoi tanities open and available, and o which advantage will be taken to th utmost, in order to establish :i pei manent and remunerative cotto: trade with the manufacturingeommti ni ty. We lay these views before our read ers, ami commend them especially t the farmers and planter's of our Statt Some of the positions of the write cannot be. gainsayed; and when w take into consideration, sup-radde to the onerous tax imposed by Cot: Kress, they must show tho plante that it is his iaterest to plant les cotton, and turu his attention mor to other agricultural production. I ?hows more -that it is the interest c both the planters and capitalists o the Southern States to engage large! in the manufacture of the staple, s that if cotton-spinning Manchcste is determined to make herself imh pendent of Southern production, th South can make herself independei of her spindles and looms. Th course, besides, will relieve the st; .pie of three cents per pound, whicl in the shape of protection o Ne England manufacturers, redounds t their advantage, and wid largely ii crease their already ill-gotten gains The South has now a splendid op? portunity of entering upon a career of prosperity, if sho will only avail herself of it. Let the planters give up the old system of large cotton plantations, vary their products so as to furnish abundant provisions for mau and beast, and the future will be moro prosperous than ever it was in the past. -< -O. o- p "?iDjal" Mm ut ?lie South. The stories that Union men or loy? alists are not safe in the South are dis.sipp.tod by the following telegram from Washington to the Cincinnati Gazette: "Members of the Congressional ex? cursion party speak in the highest terms of the unreserved manner in which Senator Wade expressed his radicalism during the whole trip, both in public and in private conver? sation with leading rebels." Tho Gazette is a radical sheet, and it was, and still is, the custom with papers of that stripe, it omitted no opportunity of endeavoring to induce Union men to believe that their lives j would be in danger if they visited j the Southern States. Its editors must be ashamed of themselves, when they publish in their columns such a Hat contradiction from eminent members of their own party. Tho Congres? sional excursionists were all leading radicals, und everywhere they were treated with courtesy, cordiality and hospitality. We believe that il old Thad, himself had been with the company, ho would have received like courteous treatment. The papers that traduced the Southern people by the base fabrication referred to, will have to get upon a new track. "Othello's occupation," in that re? spect, has "mizzled." THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.-Wo learn from the New York lierai t that the Judiciary Committee was to com? mence their inquisition of tho im- i I peachmeut charges on the 9th, and I that Mr. Ashley will be the first wit I ness in Hie subiui si ni of testimony ! to support his charges, and that the ' examination of witnesses will be con? tinued from day to day, until the commit tee ure satisfied that they have ; sufficient evidence upon which, yea i or nay, to make tip a repo t, for thc I lions:'. Thc committee in question, ! ono of tho standing committees of j tin1 present Congress, is composed of j thc following members: James F. ! Wilson, of Lova, Chairman; George S. Boutw ll, of Massachusetts; Fran ; eis Thomas, of Maryland; Timmas i Williams, of Pennsylvania; Frcde : rick E. Woodbridge, of Vermont; I Daniel Morris, of New York; Andrew i J. Hogers, of New Jersey; William ; Lawrence, of Ohio; Burton C. Cook, I of Illinois; all Republicans, and. we believe, all of the radical school of Ashley, except the solitaiy Democrat familiarly known as "Little Jack Bogers, of New Jersey." Six, at least, of this committee, we under? stand, are resolved upon the impeach? ment, so far as their labors may con? tribute to this end, and profess to i believe that a budget of "high crimes . and misdemeanors" can be estab ; lished sufficient for the removal of I Andrew Johnson. - j THE ISLAND OV ST. TuoM.vs.- -It | ! was stated in our Washington de? spatches, a few days pince, that the j j steamer (ietiysburg has taken out the j j nesessary instructions and the proper men, with the money, to settle the j bargain with Denmark for the pur? chase of tho Island of St. Thomas. The Government pays Denmark 000,000 in gold for the island. St. Thomas is one of the Virgin group of West India Islands, and is thirty eight miles East from Porto Rico. In si/.e, it contains* an area of twenty four square miles, and has a popula? tion of from 12,000 to 15,000. The soil is sandy, but sugar and cotton are raised. It is open to the com? merce of all nations, and is a depot for goods of the adjacent islands, and about IkOOO vessels visit it annually. The capital of the island is Charlotte Amalie. This island will bc useful to the United States as a naval station, as will the island also lately pur? chased in thc Grecian Archipelago. FIBE is CHARLESTON.-Wc learn by a private despatch that a fire broke out in Charleston, in Anson street, rear of Charleston Hotel, at 10 o'clock, last night. Adjutant-General Schouler, of Massachusetts has been removed from office, by tho Governor of that State, for not supporting Butler for Con? gress, t Ashley, the Impeacher. Tho Washington Republican ar? raigns Mr. Ashley, tho man who im? peaches President Johnson. Quoting the words, "He that is without sin amongst you, let him cast tho first stone," the Republican supposes that Mr. Ashley, in declaring that the impeachment was a "painful duty," and he had sought various members of the House to perform it, only en? deavored to lind some one who could , meet the requirement which the Sa? viour demanded of those who would take tho reputation and life of a fel? low-being. It was not surprising that Ashley found none such, if this was "his motive. Mr. Johnson would not be disturbed, were this require? ment enforced in Congress. But Mr. Ashley, all unworthy, as i he truly confesses, took npon himself j tho accusation. The Republican shows "how little he waa entitled to accuse anybody, by reviving some ? very dishonest acts of the impeacher, I brought to light before a committee of tho House of Representatives, in j 1SG3. A report submitted to thc| House by one of its committees, on j the 28th February, 180-5, shows thal : Mr. Ashley was charged with "cor rupt official conduct," and ouly os-1 caped by a "Haw in the indictment."' | Ho was accused of obtaining an office > for a "consideration previously, made," and escaped because it was! not exactly proven that the consider- j ation had been "previously agreed upon. " Ashley procured the appointment: of P. M. Case as Surveyor-General of ? Colorado. Among the letters of Ash-j ley to Case, pending his exertion s for I the appointment, is one dated Febru- ! arv 2, 1861, in which he dwells on ! the importance of thc office, saying that it would enable a good business man (in meaning "rogue," probably.) to make a fortune (d' ?50,000 or $100,000, and, in the same lotter, he savs: "I want my brother as chief clerk!" On Merell 12, 1861, Ashley, by letter, informs Cute that he hud made some progress, nod that, "in order to secure the Indiana delega? tion and Senator Lane to operate on Smith, he had promised that thesnb appointinents should be mude jointly, he giving them their Hist choice." He asks for a letter authorizing him ! lo make such a pledge. He also says ' to Case, iti his letter, that he wants | to unite; with him as a full partner in j all land speculations and town sites. ; Tins is the precious scam}) who ira- j peaches the President. He was re ! elected to Congress under the infill-1 encc of his furious radicalism and j zeal for tho war. We conjecture that it would be found generally that, like the French revolutionists, many of the leaders of the present Congress are men whose characters will not j stand the scrutiny of investigation. Thc revolution has brought the cor? ruptest men to the surface, and the high places are filled hy them, ?o thc disgrace of the nation, ami the gene? ral disturbance of the order, peace and prosperity of the land.

As the actual bales are now nearly 500 pounds each, this is equi? valent lo 1,500,000 such bales. The estimates are made up .as follows: Xorth Carolina, 01,000 bales; South Carolina, 102,000; Georgia, 205,000; Florida, 3G,000; Alabama, 220,000; Mississippi, 270,000; Louisiana, 100, 000; Texas, 300,000; Arkansas, 182, 000; Tennessee, 148,000; other States, 87,000. SOUTHERN MANUFACTURES.-In July last, a factory of jeans, linsey, etc., was commenced to be erected at Dc Soto, Mississippi. They began the enterprise in the woods. On the j 17th of December, looms commenced running, and trow the factory is in full operation. The cloth made is equal to any other of same grade, and the demand is equal to the sup? ply. This ?3 the shortest road to in? dependence and prosperity, and the example of the "Magazine Mills" should ho imitated in every Southern State. -?.+ ? ? PROFITABLE.-The People's Na? tional Bank, of Charleston, declared a dividend on the 7th instant. This dividend i- at the rate of eight per cent, per annum, being the third one for tito last year, making, in al], twenty-four per cent. Tho Ttlnsons of Baltimore have prc sented a completo set of Masonic ! jewels to their brethren in Charles? ton, H. C.; also, a large, elegantly bonnd Bible. One factory in Augusta, Ga., has turned out during last year 6,410,000 yards of cloth, and paid a dividend, or clear profit, of $011,000 to thc s lock holders. FIRE J>; CAMDEN', S. C.-We learn that tho residence of S. P. Alicker, at Cam Jen, was entirely consumed by fire on the 11th, the family barely escaping with their lives. Parson Brownlow and Brigham Young each received ono vote foi chaplain of the Idaho Legislature on tho 5th of December last. The votes were complimentary. Spain has 15,000,000 inhabitants; only 3,000,000 of them can read and write. THE CONTRAST-GEOKGTA ANO SOOTH CAROI/INA.-A correspondent of the Anderson Appeal writes to that paper as follows: The people of the State of Georgia, through their Lcgilature, seem regardful of the condition and hard? ships of the times, and by wiso nud humane legislation are attempting to soften down and ameliorate thc sufferings of the citizens of that State. Thc Legislature has provided by law for the payment of debts, by instalments, running through four year1-- the first commencing 1st January, 186S. Also, for a liberal homestead, one hundred and sixty acres of lana: two horses or mules; two cows and calves; household and kitchen furniture; farming implements and enough provisions for one year. Also, a law to secure to all married women their separate estate and in? heritances. Also, a law declaring hov/ contracts foi*slaves shall be construed and col? lected. The Legislature of South Caro? lina has-abolished all laws on tin.' subject of Usury. Has refused to allow any time to debtors, and even rejected the An? neal Court Hill, which in all large debts would have allowed one more crop to intervene Jjef ore judgment. lias refused to pass any Bankrupt Law. Has refused to pass any Homestead Bill, or enlarge at all, property exempt fri wu levy and sale. Has refused to abolish imprison? ment for debt. But the Legislature did aid one or more Railroad Companies, and did pass about one hundred acts-more than one half the number being for the incorporation of private and pub? lic companies. What real und substantial good to the people of the State, was or will be accomplished, we leave someone else to explain. -.-?>-*-> THE FUTURE OF THE COTTON PRO? DUCT.-The National Intelligencer, re? ferring to the estimates of the Com? missioner of Agriculture in regard to thc crop of tin- year just expired, says : The future of the cotton product is now an int -resting matter of specu tiou, for it involves oar financial and commercial future. The prospect f<>v the next session is very bad, as we learn from various sources. Neither capital nor labor from i'm: Northern States or Europe is flowing into the cotton region, but a considerable por? tion of that which was employed in the production of cotton in 18C6 will be withdrawn. Tin: political and finan? cial policy of Congress is hostile in every way to tho cotton product. Congress will reject any scheme for a more equitable distribution of na? tional bank "currency in the South. They will retain the cotton tax as a means of encouraging the wood growers of Vermont and Ohio. They agitate, alarm and incense the public mind of thc cotton-growing commu? nities by arbitrary acts tending to thc destruction of confidence in the se? curity of property and industry. The Columbus, Mississippi, Senti? nel, of the 25th ultimo, says that if the radical policy, as indicated at Washington, succeeds, it will put an end to the production of tho great Southern staples-cotton, sugar and rice. "STRANGE RUMORS AT RICHMOND." The following is a special despatch to the Herald. Let noone be fright? ened: "From various events that have re? cently transpired, it is evident that matters of a serious and grave nature aro now under consideration at the War Department and in military cir? cles. Rumors have reached herc that movements have already been made in view of the disturbances likely tc grow out of tho impeachment of thc President by Congress. Troops arc now being transported from difieren! points. To what destination, is si mystery. Added to this, Gen. Scho? field to-day left this city ostensibly or a tour of inspection through this de? partment; but really, it is said, to bc absent at Washington a whole month." -4 _? <fc- ? On the 13th of March, 18GC, J. G. Harris was tried by the United Statr>> Court at Louisville ou a charge o; evading thc revenue law, found guilty and sentenced to pay a fine of $000 $250 of which amount was, by ordei of tho court, awarded to the informer Subseqent to the conviction of Harris and during his imprisonment in de fault of paying the line, Presiden' Johnson ordered thc remission o $400, two-thirds of the penalty. Judge Ballard has invalidated thc ruling o the President by deciding that the informer is entitled to Iiis allowance of $250. -^ ? ? The new fire department of Nev York city is a costly luxury. Rs ex penses for thc past year footed iq $935,000. The old volunteer system moro efficient in quelling lires thai the new paid department, never c >s more than $100,000 per year. DOWN.-Tho Now York Courier, o the 5th, says: Down, gold, coal anc cotton. Wc hope to say tho same o the flour speculators soon, who.keej that article in stoivs und dole on small lots at sixteen dollars per barrel Nine theatres were burned in thi country during 18C0. A successor to vice-President Fos? ter having been selected by the Le? gislature of Connecticut, the Senate will probably, at nu early day, pro ceed to the election of President pro tem., wdieu it is thought the choice will fall upon Mr. Wide. Ex-Judge John A. Campbell, of Alabama, who resigned the commis? sion as Supreme Court Judge, and Pietro Soule, arc in New Orleans. They are growing ?dd fast. The Common Council of London voted public money to immortalize themselves in the shape of their own pictures in Guildhall, butthey finally had to pay the bill out of their own pockets. lintier is arguing the "Gray Jacket corer" in the Supremo Court. It is to be hoped his arguments will be more convincing than his "argu? ments" with Gray Jackets during the war. In Virginia they usc squirrels for small chango in commercial transac t ions. Tribute ol'Respect. Al tho meeting of the first Quarterly Conference of the Washington and Marion street charges, held in Columbia on the 5lh day of January, thc following preamble and resolutions were unani? mously adopted: Whereas it has pleased the Supremo j Architect ?d' the universe to remove from ! our midst, in the prime uf life and in the meridian of Christian activity and useful- I ness, our beloved brother KIAL NORTH; ' and Whereas wc-feel that, in his death, our Quarterly Conference has l?st an abb counsellor, the ( hui. h a consistent mem? ber, and tint Sunday 'School cans;: ono o? its ir.".-t efficient and cutt . prising sup? porters; bc it, therefore, ?
